A binary database is a compiled file built by a computer. It is compared here to a pure text database such as a text file or tagged file. ePub is a collection of text files inside a zip container. The reading program must load an individual file and parse the tags to create the screen display. KF8 is a single file with binary pointers to the various sections of the eBook. The reading program follows the pointers to find the entries. The KF8 file must be built with a Computer program that compiles the database from the source files.
See our wiki for more on this. The compiled format of all Amazon file formats is based on
PDB container format.
